Romney Promises LIBOR-Scandal Banksters He'll Score for Them

Romney's bumpkin-in-chief beginning in London was epic...nothing about the presumptive Republican presidential nominee's step onto the global stage seemed to go right.
Except, of course, for the real purpose of the trip, which was to collect cash from the most scandal-plagued of London's financial insiders-- and to assure the embattled banksters that he would, if elected, use the power of the presidency to protect them from regulation and oversight.
<...>
Referring to the signature Wall Street regulatory reform of the Obama presidency, Romney reassured the bankers that: Id like to get rid of Dodd Frank and go back and look at regulation piece by piece."
While he couldn't quite get the hang of international diplomacy, Mitt Romney was entirely comfortable standing on foreign soil and promising international bankers that, as president, he would take care of them.
